“What would happen if every Christian used the 4 hours daily spent in front of the television a day (more than 126 hours a month!) or the near hour a day the average American surfs the internet and spent two of those hours developing their skill in a particular domain . . . and one hour more on the spiritual disciplines that lead into a deeper relationship with God, (prayer, memorization, Bible meditation, fasting) – only repurposing three hours a day from the five we spend on passive entertainment — and in one decade, our entire culture – and the world at large – would be entirely revolutionized. How are we being faithful stewards of our 10,000 hours?”

What would happen? Can you imagine? Head on over there and read it and be inspired!

I followed your link and read that post, it was rather thought-provoking.
We just turned off the vhs/dvd player in our house (we haven’t had regular tv for several years now), and have cut back on not only tv but on internet usage also.
I have lately been trying hard to be more productive in how I use my time…sometimes it’s a little up-hill, but I really need to stick with it.

Anyway, I adore that painting!! You should add that to your etsy shop :-).
It would make the sweetest baby/birthday/thank you cards!!!
I just finished a watercolor last night. I’m going to try to scan it into the computer so I can put it up on my blog.

Though it feels like all I’m doing right now is school>chores>shelter stuff, this makes me want to chart myself on day and see how much time I really am spending at the computer and TV! We have the laptop set to “chime” off the hours and I think it really helps us keep track of time. I *think*….
